Teaching and Learning
Portfolio Workshops
Thursday, May 6, 12:30-3:30 or
Thursday, May 13, 9:00-noon
Lindell Library 202
The purpose of this workshop is to help candidates determine the various forms of evidence that can help build a strong portfolio. The focus is on evidence of teaching, but the strategies directly apply to scholarship and service as well. This workshop is not designed to replace departmental guidance and advice nor is it an analysis of the Handbook language as it applies to an individual; it does not represent the views of the CTP committee. Rather, this is a long standing CTL opportunity to help support candidates' preparation and is one that many colleagues have found to be useful. Facilitated by Diane Pike. RSVP to martin@augsburg.edu or x1229.

On Campus GRE Prep
Are you interested in going to graduate school? Most masters and doctoral programs require the Graduate Records Examination (GRE) for admission. GRE Prep is offered this summer on campus through the Office of Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunity. You'll learn the most effective ways tackle the Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing sections on the GRE.
The course meets Tuesdays from 6-9 p.m. for six weeks (May 25-June 29). The cost is only $40, which includes test prep materials; this is a fraction of the cost when compared to similar classroom GRE prep courses offered by Kaplan or the Princeton Review that cost over $1,000.
Augsburg staff, alums, as well as non-Augsburg students are welcome to register.
Online registration is now open at the following website: http://www.augsburg.edu/urgo/gre_prep_reg.html

A Morning With Alfie Kohn - May 10
The Augsburg Education Department in collaboration with Minneapolis South High School invites you to a public presentation featuring author Alfie Kohn. This event will be held in the Hoversten Chapel, Foss Center from 9:00 AM-11:00 AM on May 10th.
Most schools are still more about memorizing facts and practicing skills than about teaching for understanding; they still exclude students from any meaningful decision-making role; and they still rely on grades, tests, homework, lectures, worksheets, competition, punishments and rewards. Alfie Kohn will explore the alternatives to each of these conventional practices, explaining why progressive education is the way to help people become critical thinkers and lifelong learners.
Alfie Kohn is the author of 11 books on education and human behavior, including The Schools Our Children Deserve, Punished by Rewards, and The Homework Myth. He lives (actually) in the Boston area and (virtually) at www.alfiekohn.org
